Welcome to the really real world and what it is. Most of what people call "friendships" or "relationships" are really just one person using the other for their own perceived benefit or both people using each other for mutual benefits. You can look at examples everywhere, the shy girl attracted to the attention seeking "confident" male, why? Because if she pairs herself with him she gets some of the spotlight he has. Or the parents who convince themselves and try to convince others how wonderful their kids are going to be when they grow up, of course odds say the kid is going to be as mediocre as they are but these people refuse to accept that. The parents are using the kid as justification for their own existence.
Everyone uses each other, back and forth and back and forth.
I can understand completely where the poster is coming from. I dont know if I would take such extreme action as they did, but I sure wish I had the guts to do that.
Is it normal that I stopped talking to everyone in my life?
